Description

(Yarrow) I was so impressed with Achillea 'Peter Cottontail' in the trial gardens all summer long. This long blooming perennial was always in bloom with gorgeous white blooms. The beautiful mounding habit of this yarrow stands 18-24 inches tall and spreads to 30 inches wide. The singular white flowers look similar to Baby's Breath but are much larger. Grown in full sun to part shade locations, 'Peter Cottontail' is a drought tolerant perennial. Although a famous rabbit is referenced in the name, 'Peter Cottontail' Yarrow is a deer and rabbit resistant perennial. This long blooming perennial attracts pollinators and butterflies to the garden. This easy to grow perennial is a great cut flower. 'Peter Cottontail' makes a perfect addition for perennial gardens and mixed containers.

Reviews

I bought these the last week of July and planted them that day. They had very nice strong roots. It has already started blooming two weeks later. Gorgeous!

This review is more how the plants arrived, and not as much how it's doing (I feel like it's too early for that). The plants I ordered arrived in AMAZING condition!!! I opened the box and the plants were pristine. The plants are so healthy, and arrived moist. I'm replacing some Amazing Daisies with this in hopes of a longer, more consistant bloom time. Thank you so much for starting me off on the right foot!
